Glenn Close and Gwyneth Paltrow
Hollywood actress Glenn Close has take a beef with colleague Gwyneth Paltrow. She recently commented on Gwyneth Paltrow’s 1999 Oscar win.
During an interview on ABC’s Popcorn with Peter Travers, Glenn Close said she was quite surprised to see Gwyneth Paltrow receiving an Oscar for her performance in ‘Shakespeare in Love’ in 1999. She added that she thought the ‘Avengers: Endgame’ star was undeserving of the win and it should have instead gone to Fernanda Montenegro for her acting in ‘Central Station’.
She said, “I honestly feel that to be nominated by your peers is about as good as it gets. And then, I’ve never understood how you could honestly compare performances, you know? I remember the year Gwyneth Paltrow won over that incredible actress who was in ‘Central Station’ and I thought, ‘What?’ It doesn’t make sense.”
“So I think who wins has a lot of things to do with how things have been, you know, whether it has traction or whatever. Publicity, how much money did they have to put it out in front of everybody’s sight. I have to be philosophical about it,” she added.
"If I was upset about it, you know, might as well be in another - and I'm very proud of the times that my peers have felt that my performances was worthy of attention,” she added.
